Thankfully, I have a wife who thinks that flowers are a waste of money. So I don’t have to worry about it.

Anticipated objection: “Oh she’s just saying that, she really wants flowers.”
Answer: I know her, she actually doesn’t want flowers.

I value the flowers that say that my husband knows what I like. For me, bright colors or tulips are top priorities.

The fact that flowers die make them even more valuable to me. They are brief extravagant beauty that God chooses to create even though they die quickly.

I used to dislike crimson roses (kinda overdone), until I married my husband, and to him, he *means it* when he gives me red roses. So they are now welcomed on our anniversary and on Valentines Day as an expression of his devotion. I *heart* him!

The only boyfriend to ever buy me flowers bought me a pink Gerbera daisy on Valentine’s Day. (My favorite color.) I was overjoyed.

The most enthusiastic response I’ve gotten from flowers I’ve given over the years came from an arrangement of wildflowers I’d had a florist create for me, which I wanted to include a few dandelions. The florist tried to tell me dandilions were out of season-this was July in Minnesota- but I said if they couldn’t find a few I would. To their credit, they found several, which resulted in a nice tip for them.

I think the best thing for guys to do is keep being creative! Not that it’s helped me, as I’m still single…

I like the one stem flowers from the buckets in the grocery store, they’re cheap, simple, and make my kitchen feel just a little bit brighter for a week.
We’re on a tight budget and I would rather enjoy $5 flowers for a week then spend $50 going out for dinner one night!
